Chiropractor and New Media Work Together to Help Mission #nmd

Dr. Greg Goffe has worked closely with members of the New Media Dayton community to complete a project called "Pajama Drama."

Here's how it played out, as described by Carole Hicks:

"...I found myself at the chiropractor — Dr. Goffe — in Centerville, looking at a flyer on his wall that said “Thanks for Giving to our Community…Dayton Gospel MIssion is in need of the following items…” and I thought PERFECT! I told Dr. G that New Media Dayton is looking for a project to jump into for Thanksgiving holiday time and he volunteered to let us join in on the drive and use his office as a drop-off point. Another reason this seemed perfect to me is that years ago I visited the DG Mission and wanted to find a way to get involved but ended up being pulled in another direction. This downtown Dayton Mission has been around for a long time and is a light in our community." [read a related story here]

All partners in the effort worked to promote the gathering of brand new pajamas that could be distributed to the Dayton Gospel Mission. On Wednesday, December 16, they did just that. According to Dr. Goffe:

"...we took the generous clothing and supplies donations of our practice members and the Dayton New Media community down to the Dayton Gospel Mission."

The effort was a very noble cause and it showed how a local business person can work with members of the social media community to make change; to give where it is truly needed. Congratulations to them all for their efforts.
